Howard Riley Trio

Famous quotes containing the words howard and/or riley:

    It is not impossible, of course, after such an administration as Roosevelt’s and after the change in method that I could not but adapt in view of my different way of looking at things, that questions should arise as to whether I should go back on the principles of the Roosevelt administration.... I have a government of limited power under a Constitution, and we have got to work out our problems on the basis of law. Now, if that is reactionary, then I am a reactionary.
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    the ache here in the throat,
    To know that I so ill deserve the place
    Her arms make for me;
    —James Whitcomb Riley (1849–1916)
